Blinkenlights appears to no longer exist :(

Plenty of java back end web development, so maybe not as embarrassing as you felt?

The CEO of a medical insurance company got assassinated. The weirdest thing about it? I didn't see shit.

That's really cool. Are they held snug? Will they fall out?

Is it possible the hard drive is failing in the old one? I don't know what the operating system would do if download speed surpassed write speed, but once it couldn't hold it in ram any longer waiting to write I guess it would have to throttle it.

The bandwidth of a network card would generally outclass your internet connection by an order of magnitude.

Gigabits per second network cards have been standard for at least a decade.

And then there's your wifi too, if applicable, but even that is much faster than your general internet connection, unless you're far from your router. A new laptop might help you get a better wifi signal, if it had a newer wifi protocol or stronger radio, but that's also going to depend on your router.

But in front of all of that is going to be your modem. Depending on the quality of your modem that might be a bottleneck.

A new laptop, even the best in the world, won't make your downloads any faster.

I also back what everyone else is saying. Unless of course you can update your current laptop. What have you got? An extra stick of ram and an SSD can make an old laptop feel brand new, especially with an OS reinstall

Jesus Christ is not my Lord and saviour. I demand you delete this post immediately and apologise. This is as insulting to me as pineapple on a pizza

I don't know what I want. Something really basic? But then why not just but an e-bike? I initially thought a ct110 type bike, but what advantage does that have over a push bike? I'm not sure any more. Maybe I just want something I can afford and justify to my family.

The last Batman movie I saw was probably in the Dark Knight series and I'm pretty sure there was no Robin. When was Robin last in a big movie? Has he come back since then?

Wow, I've probably seen it a million times but never noticed, but "don'ts" just looks so wrong. "Dont's"? "Don't's"? "Donts"? AAAAAAAHHHHH

But generally they would be parked, right? At the office, or transport hubs? Maybe that's where the batteries need to be installed. Take the responsibility off private citizens and install it where there's going to be a mass of cars parked.
